Question 1160540: In ΔRST, ∠S is a right angle, RS = 24, and cos R = 8/17. Draw a diagram and find each value in fraction form.
cot R

This is an 8-15-17 right triangle scaled up by 3
so it is a 24-45-51 right triangle
cos R is 24/51 or 8/17
sin R is 45/51 or 15/17
CTN R is 8/15 ANSWER
tan R is 15/8.
Note change. CTN is cos x/ sin x
